Clean sheets

3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.5, Hills carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 21%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
